Rome (Italy). On 26 April 2025 in Tam Ha, Vietnam, the World Feast of Gratitude is celebrated, animated by Mary Help of Christians Province (VTN). Program of the Feast
“Light the Gospel of hope” is the theme of the Feast, which this year takes place in the atmosphere of the Jubilee Year, at the beginning of the Triennium in preparation for the 150th Anniversary of the first FMA missionary departure, illuminated by the Word of God: “Christ our hope” (1 Tim 1:1).
“The celebration of this feast will be, once again, a sign of love and fidelity and will give us the opportunity to express a ‘choral thank you’ to the Mother, who with generous dedication and wisdom, guides the Institute in the concreteness of daily giving”, explains the Vicar General, Sister María del Rosario García Ribas, in her Letter. “Grateful for the inestimable gift that her animation represents for each of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians and for the educating communities of the world, let us live this time of preparation with sentiments of gratitude.”
As is traditional, you can express your own gratitude and that of the Communities to Mother by leaving a comment below, so that she can read them all:
